Hi,
My NetworkManager no longer be able to connect to OpenVPN after upgrade to version 1.12.0-1.
NetworkManager 1.12.0-1
NetworkManager Applet - 1.8.14
The log wrote:

configuration file for the VPN:

but however, if i specify "Automatically connnect to VPN" to the VPN server, it connects.
Any idea on how to solve this?
thank you!
Edit: It might be a network-manager-applet problem (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=903109)

I have the same problem since updating to NM 1.12.0-1. Problem seems to be the nm-applet. You can still activate the VPN using the nmcli command on the commandline:
nmcli connection up <VPN_UUID>
You can list all your connections and their UUIDs with nmcli conncetion

I am also having problems establishing a connection to openvpn using nm-applet, however I can still connect to the openvpn daemon through the terminal with
sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/client/<yourclient.config>
To restore the nm-applet functionality, a temporary fix is to revert the most recent update to networkmanager with
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/networkmanager-1.10.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
This suggests the problem is not nm-applet, but networkmanager (?)

It seems they introduced some incompatiblity between the versions of NetworkManager and nm-applet currently available in Arch (they do a stricter checking for used parameters in NM 1.12 now). Details also in this NM pull request: https://github.com/NetworkManager/Netwo … r/pull/159

It seems they applied the fix to NetworkManager... do you know if the NetworkManager package has it now?

You know when the patch was merged, and you can check the build time of the package with pacman -Qi/-Si. You can answer this question yourself.

Out of curiosity*, how is it decided when this package will be rebuilt? Does Arch wait for some kind of minor upstream version number, or is it whenever a volunteer finds the time to build and test it?
*and definitely not because I just stupidly deleted my pacman cache because a package wouldn't build, even though I knew I needed the 1.10 version of networkmanager...

Beyond this, it's up to the maintainer to decide how they want to handle the situation. For fast-moving software projects, with frequent releases, the maintainer may opt to wait for a point release rather than backporting a fix. This is why it is wise to keep an eye on the bug report.
